Skill finds new home at Disability Alliance
Posted : 05/07/2011
The disability charity Skill: National Bureau for Disabled Students closed in April 2011 [1]. Skill was the only organisation providing advice and information to disabled people who wanted to gain new skills or go into further and higher education. The closure of Skill left a massive gap for disabled people. Disability Alliance has been supported by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills to fill part of the gap. Disability Alliance is very pleased to announce it will be delivering some of the critical services Skill previously provided.
